Meet the Fug Girls

The Fug Girls
As celebrities come to Fashion Week to evaluate the season's new looks, so must their own outfits be judged. Joining us for Fashion Week are Fug Girls Heather and Jessica, creators of Go Fug Yourself, a site where the A-list is chastised for choosing bad looks. For 'Show & Talk,' their outsider's eye looks past the runway to the fashion news being made in the front row or the after-party. Check back for regular reports from the Fug Girls.

If Jessica had the cash, she'd be buying Narciso Rodriguez gowns. But she's a writer who has no money or invitations to things that require gowns. Instead, she maxes out her credit cards on very expensive jeans. And shoes. Her favorite shirt cost $40 at Topshop.

Heather plans to swap a kidney for a Diane Von Furstenberg dress, because what else would you wear to a pretend dinner date with Joan Collins? (Maybe Diane could come, too — imagine that table.) In the meantime, she wanders past the Nanette Lepore store and sighs dreamily at the window displays before shuffling into Old Navy.

The Fug Girls also write a weekly column for New York magazine's Daily Intelligencer. You can read it here.
